    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the money has already been allocated. It is sitting somewhere, probably earning interest, I do not know for whose benefit and yet we have Kenyans languishing out there. They have now resorted to all manner of actions going to court, demonstrations, confronting Members of Parliament everywhere and so on. This is completely unnecessary situation that we are subjecting these teachers to. This is their due. I think the Government should go beyond this little matter of pension. We must be very clear. Pension all over the world is a fund that is managed in the best interest of the pensioners and of the country. The Government should go beyond these little stitches, trying to repair here, there and respond to issues in a haphazard way. We laid the framework in this House when we said every citizen who retires must be paid within a month of their retiring. That should be the case. That is the law now. It was passed in this House. No excuse should be fronted on matters of this nature because we are talking about people who have already made their contributions, they are in their sunset years, they want to look after their grand-children, they want to have a peaceful retirement, but here we are subjecting them to all manner of actions."
